Short descriptionIrish Lights AToN Monitoring -
The Supply and Installation of AToN Monitoring Software for The Commissioners of Irish LightsDetailed descriptionThe Commissioners of Irish Lights owns and operates the lighthouses and navigation aids around the coast of Ireland (North and South). At present, there are a mixture of lighthouse and navigation aids that are remotely monitored and controlled from the central Remote Control and Monitoring System (RCMS) and others that are monitored using AIS. The RCMS and AIS systems are currently located at the Irish Lights Headquarters in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin. Communications from the RCMS to the remote terminal units (RTUs) at the various lighthouses and navigation aids is currently carried over a mixture of communication types ranging from 3G to public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines.
While the bulk of the existing monitoring relates to AtoN, other areas for monitoring have been identified which take into account both our current and future needs. These areas specifically relate to MetOcean, Communications and DGPS.
The objective of any potential architectural monitoring system is to provide current information on the status of the monitored items and to have the capability to centrally control equipment where necessary.

The Assessment Judgement Tool (AJT) is intended to be an online tool that allows assessors to upload samples of student work, share in closed groups, enter grades for this work and then to compare judgements and contribute towards a discussion thread.

The purpose of the AJT is to provide assessor support to improve internal assessment judgements by providing a digital platform that will allow assessors to get feedback on their own judgements, compare their decisions with others and to discuss grades for student evidence online.

Teachers will be able to post student evidence and wait for feedback or they can select a subject and standard and then be presented with a sample of student work. After posting their grade decision assessors they can then see how others have graded the evidence and enter a discussion thread.

The greatest difficulty teachers said they had was finding a suitable peer to review their assessment judgements; especially in small, rural and isolated schools or for small subjects. This tool is intended to solve that problem.]]>type/spncountry/nz - Nova ZelândiaCPV/48000000deadline/2019/Feb/08https://licitacoes.dgmarket.com/tender/25666448Fri, 14 Dec 2018 21:06:44 ESTPacotes de software e sistemas de informaçãohttps://licitacoes.dgmarket.com/tender/25666603
